LeftWinger Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Cook a Test player? Is he the best available over there?
T4E Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Please don't do that when he's in the 90's!!!!! Cook out for 95. Nice one Left Winger!!!!! Ah well, he did his bit and did it well. If Bopara can get in we'll be looking just fine.
T4E Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 This is some really excellent stuff from England. Bopara has got himself in quickly. Ball starting to move in the air a bit. This is some really excellent stuff from England. Bopara has got himself in quickly. Bloody hell now I'm at it!!!! Some definite movement on this ball now.
jim mk2 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 222 - curse of the double Nelson again. Strauss needs to put down anchor and make a double hundred.
pg Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Hilfenhaus is a 21st century Terry Alderman. Nassar Hussien agrees with me..I should be a Sky pundit.
T4E Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Hilfenhaus has this thing wobbling about all over the place. I know very little about him, but wasn't expecting much having read you Aus guys opinions on here before the series. In reality he looks very handy.
Flopsy Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 I must say Hilfanhaus and North are bowling well.
jim mk2 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Conditions are good, this is an easy scoring wicket, the bowling is mediocre and the outfield lightning fast. Anything less than 500 will be a failure by England.
T4E Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 KP just got away with murder. Head down for (Please don't use that word again) sake man, just stay in and make some runs. There's no bloody rush. That guy really winds me up. Ton up for Strauss, well played skip.
RibbleValleyRover Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I must say Hilfanhaus and North are bowling well. Agreed, really testing the batsmen. KP just lucky then the ball didn't drop to a fielder. Think the Aussies on the whole haven't bowled that badly on this pitch, Johnson has been shocking though.
Presty On Tour Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Tea has come at the right time for KP. Hopefully someone can have a word and he can follow the Captains trail to a ton.

Check hawkeye's pitch map, Siddle and Johnson have been Harmison like in their spraying of the ball all over the place.
Iceman Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Englands bowlers are rubbish. There is no reason why the Aussies cant match what England get, or more. The pitch is as flat as anything ive seen. The movement is through the air.
T4E Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 KP gone, Siddle Crap yet again. He's doing very little to justify a place in this team at the moment.

The movement is through the air. Movement through the air is what England bowlers specialise in. Onions is in top form, shame Harmy wasn't selected as so is he. We will get more out of the pitch if the standard of bowling is as poor as is being reported. KP is annoying me at the moment, he seems incapable of playing that gritty innings. Don't play big shots and get yourself a good score, then let rip.
AussieinUk Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Crap yet again. He's doing very little to justify a place in this team at the moment. Oh c'mon T4E, he will bounce back.. Unfortunately England has put on a decent show today and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a fair bit more to come. Anyone know anything further on Hauritz's injury?
RibbleValleyRover Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Crap yet again. He's doing very little to justify a place in this team at the moment. I agree but do the selectors have the Cojones to drop him? Dropping him could give him the kick up the backside he needs and actually help his game, at the moment he just comes out with the usual "well thats how i play and i won't change my game". Knowing that his place isn't automatic might make him think more. I'm not saying he needs to fully change his game, but he needs to be able to adapt to what is required, he has the talent to do so.

Went to hospital, dislocated finger no break.
